Genesis 1:26-30

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “1Let 2Us makeH6213 3mankindH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and 4let them 5ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over the livestockH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431 that crawlsH7430 on the earthH776.”

27So GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 6in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 7maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them.

28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “8BeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 9movesH7430 on the earthH776.”

29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 10I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 11surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 12whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you;

30and 13to everyH3605 animalH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the skyH8064 and to everythingH3605 that 14movesH7430 on the earthH776 15whichH834 has lifeH5315H2421, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 plantH6212 for foodH402”; and it was soH3651.
